Clean room
General area of application
abovo AG’s cleanroom products are used in semiconductor manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, aerospace technology, optics and laser technology, life sciences, medical technology, research, the food industry, hospitals and nanotechnology.
ISO and GMP cleanroom classes
A cleanroom is a clearly defined area in which the number of airborne particles is kept as low as necessary. In cooperation with suppliers and manufacturers, abovo AG makes recommendations on the respective cleanroom classification of the individual cleanroom articles. The following graphics give you an overview of the ISO and GMP cleanroom classes (according to ISO standard 14644-1):



Cleanroom clothing
Cleanroom garments are the most important filter between people and products. In cleanrooms, people are one of the biggest sources of contamination. For this reason, the use of our high-quality cleanroom garments is essential to protect your products. The tips on how to put on cleanroom garments correctly in the GMP environment will inform you about the process before entering the cleanroom. The article Cleanroom wipes and cleanroom swabs: properties and selection tips will help you make the right choice. You can find more exciting topics on cleanrooms and ESD in the interesting facts section.
The following criteria must be taken into account when selecting your cleanroom garments:
- The technical properties of the fabric
- The wearing comfort
- The technical manufacturing features, namely the seam quality and the finish.
The high quality of our cleanroom garments is tested and guarantees maximum safety and an outstanding fit.
The clothing range from abovo AG consists of various products: Overalls, coats and aprons, overshoes, headgear such as hoods, full protection hoods or flat hoods, face masks (sterile or non-sterile) and many more.
Cleanroom gloves
Cleanroom gloves are the products that come into contact with the protected object the most by far. Obviously, they must therefore meet particularly high requirements:
- Absolutely low particle permeability
- Low abrasion
- Extensive preservation of the sense of touch
- Exclusion of fingerprints caused by sweat or grease.
From a cleanroom point of view, powder-free, post-cleaned gloves made of latex, nitrile, vinyl or other synthetic materials such as PU, neoprene, etc. are always preferable to textile gloves.
Only the cleanroom gloves mentioned guarantee the necessary protection for your products against contamination from human skin.
However, it is of course also possible to use processes that allow the wearing of more permeable textile gloves. We will be happy to advise you!
Cleanroom wipes and swabs
Cleanroom wipes can be found in almost every cleanroom. The range of applications for these wipes is very broad. It is important to consider whether
- the cloth must be dry or damp
- the cloth must be particularly low in particles
- the cloth must be soft to avoid scratching the product
- Etc.
Due to numerous requirement profiles, we offer a wide range of cleanroom wipes and swabs from leading manufacturers. Please do not hesitate to contact us.
Various other cleanroom products
In addition to the above, abovo AG offers you a wide range of other cleanroom products. These include, in particular, cleaning equipment and cleaning aids for cleanrooms, autoclavable buckets and mop systems as well as cleanroom vacuum cleaners, especially for pharmaceutical areas.
To eliminate other possible sources of contamination in your cleanroom, we offer you specially coated copy paper, pens, pads or Post-It notes. Cleanroom paper in particular stands out due to its low-particle and low-ion surface. Our cleanroom copy paper is of course available in various DIN formats.
Cleanroom-compatible shoes
In the area of cleanroom footwear, we work with leading manufacturers such as Sievi, Abeba and Schürr.
Work shoes are a potential source of contamination and can electrostatically charge your employees through friction with the floor. To solve both problems, abovo AG recommends shoes that have been specially developed for cleanrooms.
